YouTube Stars!

The economy is doing a little better and analysts expect more of us to spend more on The Holidays this year. But how will we buy our Holiday Gifts? Will we go out and wait on long lines and possibly get into battles with other shoppers as we purchase our presents? For me, I find it so much easier to let my mouse do the shopping as I click and buy at Amazon.com! Shop Amazon's Electronics Holiday Gift Guide - New Deals Every Day

Things sometimes go very wrong on Black Friday. Here is a 5 minute video about Black Friday Disasters. It has about a Million views! Here is the well written description: By now, we've all heard the Black Friday horror stories. The cast of characters is always the same: stampeding shoppers, pushy patrons and bellicose bargain-hunters. Along with great deals, the post-Thanksgiving shopping "holiday" can bring out consumers' more aggressive natures. Before you foray into the retail free-for-all, check out this compilation. You might think twice about leaving the house.

Its been a year and a half since Patrice Wilson and Ark Music Factory gave us the song and video, "Friday" - sung by 13 year old Rebecca Black. We all know the story of Friday, but if you somehow missed it, read our coverage here.

Patrice is back on the YouTube scene with a song that is very much a clone of Friday. This song is about Thanksgiving, but features a lot of the same lyrical and video styles from Friday. The video starts with an allusion to time. The lyrics are about time. They even contain the same triple we - "we we we". In Friday, it was, " we we we so excited" and now its "we we we we're gonna have a good time."

Both songs contain wholesome lyrics that do not rhyme (other than "school is out, I can shout") about having fun in groups. "Fun, fun, think about fun, you know what it is!" was in a verse in Friday, as well as "we're gonna have a ball today." It's Thanksgiving puts the fun right in the chorus, "oh oh oh, its Thanksgiving! We we we we're gonna have a good time!"

The mention of sequential time slots is another similarity. In Friday, we heard, "Yesterday was Thursday, today it is Friday..." Now we get a list of holidays and their container months, "December was Christmas, January was New Year, April was Easter, and the Fourth of July, but now it's Thanksgiving, oh oh oh it's Thanksgiving!"

Inside Edition with Deborah Norville said tonight that this is the worst song ever. Many agree and some do not. As of now, the video has 7 million views with 107 thousand dislikes and 13 thousand likes. Who knows how many of the dislikes are from people simply following the crowd and wanting to be part of the In Group that has predetermined that anything put out by Patrice Wilson is most likely terrible.

Have a listen and decide for yourself what you think of this song and video. Singer Nicole Westbrook, 12 years old 7th grader from Los Angeles, seems nice enough and has a pleasant enough voice. She seemed to enjoy filming the video, singing into a Turkey leg, and most likely will make some money on this project, as the song is already available on iTunes.

Happy Thanksgiving! This is the holiday where we give thanks for the good things in our lives, like the internet and YouTube! This Thursday, we'll gather with the family and have multi-course meals with turkey as the main course. Then on Friday, it's off to the mall to see what shopping bargains await us. Black Friday, as it has come to be called, since the retailers hope the huge volume of business will put them "in the black," is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. This year, don’t fight the crowds when you can shop online at Amazon.com from the convenience (and comfort) of your keyboards. Amazon will have amazing deals to help you get holiday shopping done for less. Their Black Friday page is the central point to find all their Black Friday deals, including the Gold Box hourly deals featured from midnight to 11pm PST and thousands of products that are on sale for a limited time only. Please help out YouTubeStars by doing your online shopping at Amazon.com. You'll get amazing deals and we'll get a little commission. Thanks in advance!

Twilight, the movie, opened last week and had ticket sales of over $70 million at the box office in its first weekend! Of course, everyone over at the TeamTwilighter YouTube channel was excited! (Visit the TeamTwilighter website!) Here's a review of the movie from Katie:




Did you catch YouTube Live last Saturday night? The Live 90 minute show featured Katy Perry, Akon and many YouTubeStars like LisaNova and Alphacat who appear in this clip as Sarah Palin and Barack Obama:




Krysta Nick is only 11 years old, but just listen to her sing! Krysta (visit her website!) has been singing for just a few years and only recently began to play guitar as well. She sounds as good or better than many of the YouTube musicians who are much older. Watch and listen as Krista sings Taylor Swift's "Should've Said No," you'll love it!





Here's a cool collaboration with Xelander acting out the words written by PeriUrban. It's a solliloquay emotionally expressing dismay with Alarm Clocks. Watch this; you probably feel this way too! As someone recently commented, "In 200 years this will be required reading in high school lit classes."

We would like to wish all of our readers a Happy Thanksgiving! If you're not from the United States, Thanksgiving is a holiday where we give thanks for the people and things that we have in our lives. We would like to thank YouTube for providing this free video sharing service, and all the viewers and videomakers for creating the YouTube community. Also, thanks to all the readers of YouTubeStars!

In this post, we'll see a Thanksgiving video from Olga, the juggling actress. We'll hear a song from Krista, the 13-year-old singer; and also another singing performance from Callianne and Kimberly.

But first, we would like to announce a new website for you to visit. A few weeks ago, we wrote about Oprah on YouTube. Several members of the community commented that with all these corporate channels on YouTube these days, it's not easy to find videos on the Most Viewed list that is made by "regular people."



In response to this problem, we created a "Most Viewed NonCorp Videos" list. This list is based on YouTube's Most Viewed videos list, but with the Corporate Channels filtered out. To keep the list of Corporations to filter up to date, we've put a "Flag this Channel as Corporate!" button to the right of each video. If you see a video in the list that you think is on a Corporate Channel, please click the "Flag this Channel as Corporate!" link to the right of that video. We'll review the channel and if we agree that it is Corporate, it's videos will be filtered out of the list in the future. Please check out our "Most Viewed NonCorp Videos list right now! If you see a Corporate Channel, be sure to Flag it. Thanks for helping us keep this list Corporate-Free!

And now... a word from our sponsor.   :)


Thursday is Thanksgiving. That means Friday is the start of the holiday shopping season. If you plan to do some online shopping at Amazon.com this year, please start your shopping from one of our Amazon.com links. You'll pay the exact same prices and we'll earn a little commission. To see some Amazon Black Friday Deals, please click here.





Olga was born in Russia but now lives in the United States. In this video, she gives thanks to her parents and to America. Olga is going to be in a national TV commercial very soon! She tells you about that also in this video.





Krista is only 13 but she already has quite a singing voice! She shines in this new video. She gets to act as well as sing. Krista made this video because she is competing in the YouTube Idol contest. She is also in the Webpops contest. Watch this video for info on the Webpops contest.





Callianne watched this singing video by Kimberly and decided to remix it. She added her own vocals - twice! Callianne sings low and high harmony along with Kim and the result is fantastic! Callianne is a member of the band "Beasts and Superbeasts" and you can buy their CD from the link in the description of this video. I bought a copy; it's great!
